Cocogun kicks balls with launch of ‘It Takes Boobs’ campaign for Stella Insurance

Stella Insurance has launched a new brand campaign with creative agency Cocogun called ‘It Takes Boobs’.

Stella, which brands itself as a female-focused insurer, aims to “celebrate courage, integrity and audacity” through the campaign by featuring a series of women from various walks of life.

‘It Takes Boobs’ is the latest iteration of the insurer’s ‘Unapologetically For Women’ platform, aimed at creating a more equitable world in insurance and beyond.

“Having worked in insurance for many years I realised it was so male dominated that the product design, experience, and marketing were all unconsciously built for men, and I was excited to change that,” Stella founder Sam White said.

“At Stella, we’re proud to stand for more than just cars and profit and our purpose is to ‘change the game for women’ in male dominated industries and life at large. This new campaign is a bold new expression of that perspective.”

Stella head of marketing Anita Manchester said: “Stella exists to design products which are fit for a fairer world, and fairness starts with the language we use. Courage is far from an exclusively male domain, so we wanted to reflect that in our words and with inspiring examples…while also bringing a touch of our trademark Stella playfulness to the table.”

Cocogun co-founder Chiquita King said: “This campaign is about making the language we use around bravery more inclusive. Inclusiveness in any guise is a good thing. It has nothing to do with physiology and everything to do with a philosophy that is emblazoned with passion, authenticity and integrity. Changing language, changing people’s perspectives and, ultimately, changing the world…takes boobs.”

Also involved in the campaign as director and photographer was Photoplay’s Sarah Adamson. She commented: “My aim was to give this film the authenticity, energy and integrity it deserves. Along with an incredibly talented cast and crew, we created something that feels as far-reaching as its message with an irreverent and brazen attitude that is unmistakably Stella Insurance.”
